Jesus, the alarm didn't ring!

Get it fixed!
I'll miss the train.

I was awake,
but I thought it was earlier.

It's so dark out.

It's cold as a morgue in here.

Marino will get a gas refill
for the heater today.

Why didn't you get it yesterday?
Scared of honest sweat?

You're always picking on
your brother-in-law.

You're his mother.
Tell him to go to work.

He tries, but he can't find anything.

He finds his way here
to freeload all right.

Relatives have to help each other out.
At Christmas...

he brought a box of food.

So now we wait for Easter--
if he isn't arrested first!

Nothing works!
Goddamn it!

I'll miss the train today.

They'll put me on the blacklist.

I'm sick of everything and everybody!
I'm not going anywhere!

Better to be a whore!

I can't take it anymore!

Always the same thing.

Always late.

And nobody else around here
does anything.

A sick husband loafing around.

A senile mother-in-law,
a brother-in-law who should...

spend all his time in jail.

If I didn't have three kids,
I'd get out.

- She's gone crazy.
- Be quiet!

What a rotten life.

- Have your coffee.
- I don't want any!

And I won't wash either!
Some day you won't see me anymore.

Take the bike.
You'll save ten minutes.

- Where do I leave it?
- With the station master. Explain...

Explain what?
That you're a family...

of bastards!

Look, his knee's still swollen.

Make him some compresses.

Here's the bottle.

Don't let it get infected.

Clara, I'm out of razor blades.
What should I do?

Buy some.

There are two eggplants.
Do I slice them or dice them?

Slice, dice, razor blades...

You always ask me everything.

What happens if I'm not around?

Clara, you forgot your lunch box.

I'll pick it up tonight. Thank you.

- Where were you?
- I was late.

I have to run.
I start at 7:30.

You stand.

Will you look at that?

What have they decided
about the strike?

Who knows?

They screw you out of your raise
by hiking prices.

Even the newspaper costs more.

The newspaper!
Who reads it anyway?

I do, for the robberies.
There's one every day.

A few less come summer.
Even robbers go on vacation.

- They never catch them!
- Are you sorry?

You in a bad mood today?

Yesterday, today...

The bottle for the compresses!

The kids might drink it!
It's poison!

It must have a skull
and crossbones on it.

No, no. It doesn't.

Is your mother-in-law an idiot?

She loves the kids.

She'll be careful.

The compresses.

I hope so.

Hurry up, you girls!
You're always the last.

Don't make me laugh!
I'm not in the mood.

I've never missed a single day.

I'm too stupid to pretend I'm sick,
like the others.

Look. Half of them are home.

They're smart! If you don't
look out for yourself around here...

Come on, come on.

''Come on.''

You're a real pain.

Step it up, beautiful!

Come along!

You're always late.

Come here.

Come on. I'm worn out.

Let's go eat.

Don't you feel well?

I'm sleepy.

Go to sleep. Eat later.

Hey, come over here.

Stop! She's sick!

- It's nothing. I'm fine now.
- What happened?

What's the matter, Calabria?

I just felt sleepy.

It's passed. I'm okay now.

This is the second time
you've done this.

- I'm just a little tired.
- What do you expect, working here?

Her husband wants her every night.

When you work,
three times a week is enough!

She'd be pregnant all the time,
like a gypsy!

She has to get up,
fix herself up, do all the chores--

Shut up!
Mind your own goddamn business.

It's this noise, this stink of rubber.
This department's a killer.

If you can't take it,
go someplace else.

It's 20,000 lire more a month here.

I earn what I need here.
Want me to lose my job?

I've never been sick,
not even for a day.

I already told you...

go and get an examination
at National Health.

I don't need one.

Don't be foolish, Clara.
Get out of here.

Maybe they'll give you a few days off
so you can sleep!

If only!

Take the tram.
You'll be there in half an hour.

Let us know what they find.

Come on, Clara. Get going.

Let's go see the foreman.

Bra, 2,200 lire.
Slip, 2,300 lire.

Nylon panties, 1 ,000 lire.

No stockings?

I can't afford anything else.

Oh, my God!

My head's spinning!

You can get sick just waiting here.

I've been waiting since 1 1 :00.
I have kidney stones.

Since 1 1 :00!

Number 39 to surgery.

Next year everything will change
with the new reforms.

- You believe that?
- No, but I can hope.

If you get sick, they halve your pay
instead of increasing it!

I'd like a checkup
by an important doctor.

But it costs as much as a car.

I wouldn't go to one for free!

They're used to rich people's bodies.

With poor people,
they'd mess up the diagnosis.

Sick people are all the same--
like dead people.

God forbid!

I mean better dead than sick
if you haven't got the money.

- True. Shall we get a coffee?
- Thanks, I don't drink coffee.

I have an ulcer.
I better not.

Will you come, signora?

I don't want to lose my place.
I'm number 60.

I'm 59.

They won't call you before 4:00.

Trust me.
I know the ropes here.

There's a cafe nearby.
At least we can sit down.

Come on.

Number 40, to the dentist.

- Waiter.
- Yes?

What'll you have?

- I'm cold.
- A punch, then.

For me, warm milk.

My company deals with Olivetti.

Precision parts,
to the hundredth of a millimeter.

I like it, but I have
to hunch over all the time.

It ruined my health.
I've been in a sanatorium already.

And besides, the noise!

I run a machine at 1 80 decibels.

One hundred is enough
to shatter your nerves.

Beautiful. It looks like a flower.

My work is less complicated,
but it's tiring.

Take one.

I haven't smoked a cigarette in years.

I have to smoke mild ones.

Are you from the south?

Calabria, near Cosenza.

- Lots of Calabrians here in Milan.
- We should have stayed home.

On account of the climate?

On account of everything.

We had so many illusions
when we set out.

I like your style.
You don't talk much.

When I start, I never stop.
I got it from my mother.

This punch really warms you up!

You have a family?

Yes, three children.

My husband was hit
by a motorcycle in October.

He can't go back to his factory
until May.

The children are a consolation.

It's better not to have them...

if you have to deny them too much.

My mother sprained her arm.

She's really a character!
When she was young...

she wanted to sing.
But my father was a tyrant.

I buy records for her now and then.

Do you like music?

What?

Music... do you like it?

Yes.

I don't know.
Excuse me. It's late.

- Come back tomorrow.
- Doctor, is something wrong?

You should have come sooner.
You're all so scared of doctors.

At the factory, if they find out
you're sick, they fire you.

It's a horrible world.

What can I tell my family?

Why tell them anything?

Let us have a look at the x-rays first.

Sleep on it tonight.

She's home.

- How's your leg?
- It stopped hurting.

I made the compresses.

Back to school tomorrow.

I wanna stay home another day.

You better explain...

right now, in front of everyone,
in front of your children...

or I'll smash your face in
and kick you out of the house.

Who was that shit in the cafe?

I only told him what I saw.

Answer instead of crying.

Of course we think the worst.
You changed clothes!

You go to a cafe, smoke...

I haven't seen you smoke in years.

At home you play the victim.
You don't smoke.

And I don't laugh, either.

I went to the doctor's today.
I had x-rays.

I'm sick!

I can't take it anymore!

I hope I die.
I pray to God I'm rotting with TB!

You're trying to change the subject,
but you can't fool me!

Who was that man in the cafe?

Who the hell knows?

What did this bastard tell you?

Is that all you care about my health?

You make a big jealous scene,
but you don't give a damn about me!

Nobody cares about me! Nobody!

It's only a shadow,
but it'll grow if we don't cure it.

I'm sending you to the mountains.
There you'll lay back...

and think only of yourself.

A little vacation.

In two months you'll be cured.

Two months?

Two, four, three...

We'll see.

I can't. I can't go away.

No one is indispensable.

I look indispensable...

but if I died, everything would go on--
probably better than before.

Excuse me, Doctor. Professor,
couldn't she get well at home?

You have to help us.
We're poor folk.

Don't make me angry.

She's been running a fever for a month.

- What's your first name?
- Clara.

Clara, know where I'll send you?

Sandalo, in the mountains.

In the Vattelina region.

It's a nice place.
Are your deductions up to date?

- Yes.
- Then you won't pay a thing.

But the children, the family--
How will we manage?

Go and steal.

She could die
if she doesn't get treated.

I'm not sure I'll go.

It's up to you.

I don't even have
a decent pair of shoes.

I'd need at least 50,000 lire.

Who's got money like that?

Mama's right.

The doctor was exaggerating
just to scare you.

That's his job.

You don't even have a cough...

or any pain.

I feel a heaviness on my right side.

My grandmother died of this disease.

Who says you have the same thing?

I want to get well
so the kids don't suffer.

You're turning this
into a soap opera.

Please, Franco.

I don't really feel like it.

When do you ever?

Be good. Go to sleep.

I need rest.

The more I sleep...

the sooner I'll get well.

Marissa could lend me the money.

So you've decided to go?

I'll decide tomorrow.

Come on, give me this satisfaction.
We have so few...

You move.
With this leg, I can't.

Are you mad because I slapped you?

No, I forgot all about it.

This is where the flatlands disappear.
Look, ma'am.

There they go.

Bye-bye, flatlands!

We're far from the world,
alone and happy.

Is this your first time up here?

- Yes.
- It shows.

I come back every year.

I catch my breath,
and then the sparks fly!

- You never laugh?
- No, I can laugh. See!

You have a marvelous smile.

If you'd just get that tooth fixed.

With 20 or 30,000 lire,
you'd be perfect. Right?

I think she's perfect as she is.

Look at all the snow!

Man, do you sleep well up here!
Great beds!

Here I am!
Nice to see you again, Mariani.

- You're the singer!
- Singer, actress, dancer.

- Miss Saccani!
- Scanziani. ''Rita Goes'' on stage.

A pleasure.

Hiya, kids! I came up here
mainly to see my friends.

I'm going abroad.

See how I remembered your name?

Who could forget me?

This year they've separated
the men and the women.

You're in pavilion 7.

They did it because of me.
They're afraid I'll seduce you all.

Sandalo! We're in Sandalo!

A ten-minute bus ride...

and we'll be in paradise!

A paradise I hope I'll soon be leaving.

Lucky you, Saccani.

Look,just call me
by my stage name, will you?

These are so heavy!

Those furs too, please.

- What's your stage name?
- Rita Goes.

That's even tougher!

Hello and welcome, all.

This way.

First you must sign in.

This way, ma'am.

So long, ladies.
You'll be in our dreams.

So long, Saccani.

Scanziani!

Go jump in a lake!
That guy's got water on the brain!

Hello, Scanziani!

Hello, Doctor.

It takes ages to get up here!

It's hard on us poor invalids!

- Paying?
- Yes, paying.

- National Health, or paying?
- National Health.

- You?
- National Health.

- National Health?
- Yes, National Health.

National Health, Pavilion 8.
Paying, Pavilion 9.

- You're paying?
- Paying.

- National Health?
- National Health.

- National Health or paying?
- Paying, thank God!

Easy with those bags!

We have a Calabrian here.
Who's from Calabria?

From the same region as me.

From Rogliano. Who is it?

It's me.

Hello, Miss Scanziani. Your bags?

They're unloading them now.

Careful with that one!

I'll walk. I know the way.

Hello, Doctor.
How are you?

You have a guest.

Welcome.

Come on in.

You two will be in here.

This way, please.

This is your kingdom.
You're in charge here.

So far you're lucky.
You're alone.

Now unpack and get some rest.

Later we'll bring you
whatever you'd like for dinner.

Just let us know any special requests.

Tomorrow morning
we'll begin all the tests.

Azotemia, glycemia, radiology...

cardiology, everything!

A previous patient left these behind.

Manzoni, Tolstoy.

- You like reading?
- I never had the time.

This is a lucky room.

Take your temperature.

Here are thermometer, pencil, and paper.
Always record your temperature.

Keep it under your tongue
for five minutes.

Tomorrow you join community life
with the others.

Once a week,
you can go wherever you want.

If you need anything,just call.
Lights out at 9:00 p.m.

The director forgives everything
but lost sleep. Bye-bye.

How are you?

You shouldn't read the papers.

Things are so bad,
they'll raise your fever.

I read to forget.
If you only knew.

Married?

Lucky.

If I died here,
my husband would give a party.

One night he told me...

''You're all skin and bones,''
and took a mistress.

When I put on weight again,
am I going to cheat on him!

But I must admit...

he's a pro at business...

and a flop in bed.

Is that a novel?

Marx.

Oh, the guy with the beard!
I know he had a beard.

A real troublemaker, eh?

Did he really exist?

Seems so.

How's everything?

Fine, thanks.

After the tests,
let's get together in the dining room.

I'm just fine!
It's your turn now.

Hold these, please.

God help me.

Come.

Breathe.

Cough.

Again.

Again.

Take a breath.

A deep breath.

Deeper.

We caught it in time.
You'll be fine.

You're sturdily built,
a true Calabrian.

Now get that fanny in the air
and I'll give you a shot.

- Darling, eat.
- I don't want to eat.

Drink your milk at least.

What a drag! Come on, eat!

Here's the Calabrian.

Come in.

She looks very sweet.

Breakfast is at 8:00.
Over there.

Morning.

Hey, come sit at our table.

Come on.

Have a seat.

- Are you in opera?
- No, musical theater.

There she is. She won't eat.

Enough of this nonsense now.

We let you get away with it yesterday,
but not today.

Do you want to die?

Your fever's up.

Maybe she'd eat in her own room.
Right, Maria?

I understand her.
You can't give the heart orders.

A brioche?

At least an egg.

I'd rather die.

She's crazy.

Why? Poor thing
fell in love with a doctor.

Where is he?

They transferred him immediately.

Women with our sickness are always--
what's the word?

In heat.

Right.
And men behave worse than rabbits.

I've always dominated ''that part''
with my head.

In my business,
the more you screw, the worse you sing.

She's very sick.
She won't live out the year.

Does she know?

She knows.

But she doesn't know we know.

Come sit at my side; milord

Your heart is cold
but I will warm it up

I'll bewitch and enchant you

Forget about her and taste my kisses

I know you well; milord
I know your type

Sooner or later
you'll end up with me

Here they come!

''My dear husband, the doctor says
I must stay here until spring.''

- Everything all right?
-Just fine.

With all due respect,
they're very old-fashioned here.

They don't realize that art--

and in all modesty
I call myself an artist--

has greater healing powers
than the sun.

Look where we'll go first: the Orient.

Then Jerusalem.

The Wailing Wall.
But instead of wailing...

I'm going to laugh.
How's that for guts?

I want to tell him...

''Stop fooling yourself!.

Everybody's forgotten you!

Everyone!'' Am I right?

Yes, but we should be quiet now...

or our lungs won't rest.

Don't worry.
It's just mines.

It sounds like guns.

Or bombs.
Wars can break out suddenly, you know.

Maybe in the past.

Now we wouldn't hear a sound.

''Everyone is very kind to me.''

The kid's already forgotten
the first doctor.

Now she'll get this one fired, too.

Sooner or later
you'll end up with me

And here I do a grandjete.

Clara, come up to my room.
We'll have a chat.

Look.

He fell in love with me
at a fashion show.

He wanted to marry me.
I was ready, white dress and all.

But he already had a wife.

He manufactures cookies,
but he loves art.

He makes millions.

Did you know there's no butter
in butter cookies?

Don't cry.

If you get depressed,
you'll get really sick, miss.

Call me by my first name.

I know men.

When they find out you're sick,
they're understanding at first.

But when they see you using
the thermometer all the time, they run.

- You love your husband?
- We married for love.

And now?

We're too poor to think about it.

Seven mouths to feed.

And that costs!

How much do you earn?

Just enough to keep us from starving.

My God!

If you won't be offended,
I'll give you a present.

Cologne for men. ''For Him.''

Ciro uses it and so do I.
It makes me feel close to him.

- Do you get hungry?
- All the time.

Then you'll get well soon.

But not too soon, I hope.

I'm happy here...

and I'm ashamed because
I don't think of anything or anyone else.

You have a pretty face and a nice figure.
You could be in my line of work.

You're the one with the figure!

I can't walk like that.
Only certain women can do that.

- Try this on.
- Me?

Come on. Try it on.

There.

Take a step.
Walk over there and come back.

Stick your tummy out a bit,
like this.

Not that much.
Less. Like this.

Look at those hands.
You need a complete overhaul!

Make yourself beautiful.
It's important for a woman.

I'll give you a manicure.

How can you be seen with those hands?

Come in.

Lights out was an hour ago.

I saw the light through the window.

What are you reading?

A classic.

Boring, eh?

I skip around sometimes.

It was hard at first,
but now it's easier.

Just think.

We might have met in Rogliano...

in the square...

or up in the mountains.

I'd have noticed you.

Don't you ever go out?

Wednesday everybody goes for a walk
or dancing. Don't you dance?

I used to.

Despite this body of mine,
I dance well.

The rhythm makes me giddy.

I've been invited to a concert.

- By whom?
- Scanziani.

She's nice.

Poor thing.

Well...

Now I have to make a tour
of all the pavilions.

But first put out the light.

I want to see you put it out.

Good.

Sometime we'll go dancing together.

We'll have some fun.
Wouldn't you like that?

Dancing?

Good night.

Good night.

I'd love to take my trip with you all.

Why don't you come?
I'm leaving Saturday.

The director!

Nice car, Scanziani.
Expensive?

Terribly.
I saw it yesterday and bought it!

Damn whoever invented coughing.

Clara, why don't you ever
say anything?

I like listening to you.
You all know so much.

Dr. Massari has a wonderful car.

If your fiance doesn't come for you,
we'll run out of doctors.

I'll leave you Dr. Ciranni.

You're all mean to that poor man.
He's so nice.

Listen to the Calabrian defending him!

What do you mean?

You wouldn't sleep with him
for a million dollars.

Who'd give a million for him?
The Calabrian Chamber of Commerce?

Hurry, or we'll be late
for the concert.

How marvelous!
This is the world I belong in.

You don't recognize me?

Perhaps because you're
much more beautiful now!

Take your seats, please.

I saw a man I know.

Which one is he?

He's on the other side.

With the mustache?

No, the one waving.

Quiet, please.

I'm thinking of Ciro.

I thought your name
was Giulio, not Luigi.

Well, I remember yours
perfectly well, Clara.

But I didn't forget our meeting,
and for good reason.

One day I'll tell you why.

- Tell me now.
- Some other time.

Shall we go have some punch?

I remember the punch too.

But I'm with my friends.

They can come too.

It's almost dinnertime.
We have to get back.

Me too, but so what
if we're late once?

- He's younger than her.
- Good!

I like mature men.

- May I see you again?
- I don't know.

You're a handsome couple.
It's a pleasure to look at you.

You'll wind up sleeping together.

Clara, get in.

- Good night.
- See you soon.

Nice smile!

- What's he do?
- He's a machinist.

Looks too classy for a laborer.
I'd say he's a lawyer.

- I'd like to go with a worker someday.
- Another crush!

Yes, I do go through them quickly.
It's fun to change.

Yes, but there are limits.

A woman shouldn't have
more than 1 0 men in her life.

Don't let it get all moldy
between your legs, girls.

On this trip around the world...

I'd like to even have...

an Eskimo.

Hey, watch it!

What are you doing, Scanziani?

Are you crazy?

Scared?

Even the Grim Reaper doesn't scare me!

If I saw him, know what I'd give him,
with all due respect?

The raspberry!

I don't give a damn!

Change the channel, for God's sake!

I have a right to watch what I want.

Your party and ours
share a common goal.:

putting an end to fascism.

The majority wants
to hear the singing.

The minority has rights too.

- Buy yourself a TV.
- I don't have the money!

That's your problem.
We each create our own destiny.

Ladies...

Scanziani shot herself!.

Where is she?

They took her
to the hospital in Sondrio.

You can only stay five minutes.

- I was hoping you'd come.
- Don't talk too much.

She's quite a chatterbox.

Everyone sends you greetings.
Everyone.

They all wanted to come...

but we could only get
permission for one person.

What did they say at the sanatorium?
That I'm crazy?

No, nobody said that.
Everyone likes you very much.

Give me your hand.

Was it in the newspapers?

Yes.

What did they say?

Your name.

First and last.

I bet they got it wrong.
What else?

They don't understand
how it happened.

It might've happened to anyone.

The bastards!

They write how things look,
never how they are.

Hush. Don't talk.

You talk, then.

You really are a Calabrian.

It's like pulling teeth
to get a word out of you.

You all have an inferiority complex.

Know what that is?

What is it?

I know what it is...

but it's hard to say.
I can't.

Remember...

If you don't speak up...

they'll screw you over.

Here's what I leave you in my will:

''If you act like a sheep,
the wolf will eat you.''

You're right. You know life.

Don't be so formal.
It's laughable in my situation.

Should I call someone?

No. Sit down.

It hardly hurts.

I just made a tiny hole.

What a dope!

I couldn't even find my heart.

And it's hard to miss!

Feel how it beats?

I sure do.

You ever meet that guy again?

No.

Come along now.

Wait.
I'll tell you what you see.

After the shot, I fainted,
but first I saw lots of things.

Like being on stage.

Faces swam out of the darkened audience:
an uncle, my grandmother...

someone I glimpsed on the bus once.

A hell of a thing!

Forgive me, Sister.

I saw my mother, the tower
in my village, and a plate of lasagna!

That's enough.
Mother Superior will yell at me.

Let's go.

We'll all come tomorrow.

It was wild, in a moment,just like that.
Lasagna, still smoking hot.

Like the bomb smoke in Tradate
when I was seven. The sons of bitches!

I'm sorry, Sister...

but the world
isn't much better today, is it?

It couldn't be worse.

You have good color.
You're fine.

Give me a kiss.

It's true. I'm fine.
I could even sing!

What is this, a theater?

I told you, no visitors.
Give them an inch and they take a mile.

I'm sorry.
When may I come back?

To make more ruckus?

Forgive me.

See you, Scanziani.

Forgive what?

Is this a prison?
If I want to sing, I'll sing!

Call the doctor.

We're giving you an injection.

You're not sticking a hole in my ass!
I only have a few months, I know.

At first I wanted to die because
I was afraid of death. But I'm calm now.

I've had thousands of shots,
but I haven't gotten any better.

I'm not letting them
put any more holes in my ass!

Watch your language, my child.

Words are neither dirty nor clean.
It depends.

God hears every word you say.

Good! Did I ask him to be born?

Why did he invent TB?
I had a career ahead of me!

It's because
he likes making people suffer.

He'll probably drag this pain out
for another year.

An injection. You're blaspheming!

I have a right to get revenge,
to say what I want.

Cover your ears!

Before I die,
I want to do everything.

I want to say ''prick'' now,
and I'll say it.

Prick!

And other words too!

Teresa, I'll stay here with you.

Don't cry.

If you stay calm,
you'll get well quicker.

It's over.

It's all over.

We all turn into extroverts here,
emotions spilling out all over.

One person laughs too much,
while another cries.

Come on, stop thinking about it.

Come and eat.

How's Scanziani?

She asked to be taken back
to her town yesterday.

She wants to die there.

Signor Ciro is here.

Oh, God, he found me!

I don't want to see him.
Tell him I'm not here!

Clara, help me. Come with me.

Give me courage, please. Come.

Please.

What can I do?

No, I'm not going.

Please. I beg you!

Can you tell I'm sick?

But he doesn't even know me.

Please.

This is a friend of mine.

I came here for her.

To be with her, to help her.

That's a lie.

You just came to humiliate me.

What do you want?

I spent a fortune on detectives
to trace you.

It's all over between us.

I'm leaving you.
I've decided.

Clara is my witness.

It's true, isn't it?

Pack your bags.

There's a doctor in Davoe
who's cured even kings.

My dear,
it's merely a question of money.

It would take too long here.

Dearest. My love.

You're my god!

I love you.

Here are madam's clinical records.
Stop by the office.

He kissed me on the mouth!
He loves me.

Did you see how much he loves me?

Put this in the bag.
Then close that one.

I'll visit you in Milan.
Write down your address.

I'll leave you this coat...

this sweater...

this skirt...

and this hat.

It looks divine on you.

Gina, I'll never wear these things.

I wouldn't know how.

You'll see. You'll be very chic.

I'll leave all these for you.

But make sure you use them.
They're beauty products.

Careful, this is very fragile.
This too.

These furs go in the car,
with this suitcase.

Good-bye, Clara.

Best of luck.

I'll visit you in Milan, I swear.

Thank you, Doctor.

Excuse me.

That's all mine.
I'll be back for it later.

Strike! Strike!
Hunger strike!

Our illness is society's fault!

We want full salary while we're sick!

Listen, comrades...

are you with us in this fight?

The Cuneo Sanatorium is leading it.

Viva Cuneo! Let's send a telegram!

- How are you?
- You frightened me.

Strike to the bitter end, or they'll think
we're just skipping a meal!

There are 1 0,000 of us in Italy.
This time we'll win.

Don't let the director sway you.

You have a bourgeois attitude
toward women.

We'll stick it out longer than you.
You'll see.

You know, I joined
the strikers just to see you.

What about your sign?

I'm not very political.
Are you?

There's a great need.

Although our factory...

gives full salary for six months.

But being here and thinking it over...

I've realized factory life is unjust.

You get used to it.

Maybe you do.

The minister must give his answer
within 48 hours!

Otherwise we'll strike again.

- That's my window up there.
- Which one?

Behind the tree, on the top floor.
And yours?

The third, on the fourth floor.

Then you can come to mine.
I have an idea.

Each night at 9:00, I'll turn out
the light and turn it on again.

On and off, several times.

You have to look at 9:00.

You like wasting your time, eh?

Want me to forget about you, then?

What a tragedy.

Everyone's left.

I'll wait for you every Wednesday
in the town square.

Even if you don't come,
I'll be waiting.

I have yesterday's x-rays
in my office.

I must explain them.
Come along.

You see, it's not going badly.

It's healed, but not entirely.

A slight strain could cause a relapse.

Let's weigh you.

I promised to send you home
at month's end, but do you mind?

No, this is like a vacation for me.
Everyone is so good to me.

You've put on two pounds,
but you should try to break 1 30.

And you will, if you don't worry
about anything.

What are you up to?

Getting mixed up in politics?

Edvige got me involved.

The youngest patient,
and the most fanatical.

She's a good girl.

If she were healthy,
heaven knows how far she could go.

And what do you think of me?

You're like... a member of the family.

Ouch! You destroyed me.

Murdered me.

I mean it.

I know you mean it.

That's the problem.

I can't kiss you.
Give me a kiss.

What a nice surprise.
Whose car is that?

Mine and your husband's.

A bargain. We decided
to break it in by driving up here.

- Did you learn to drive?
- No, he drove.

You should learn.
It could be useful.

Your leg's cured.
You're walking well.

You look cured, too.

But you've changed.
They give out clothes here, too?

A girlfriend gave me her extras.

I didn't recognize you.
The child did.

You look like a lady!

Where's the sanatorium?

Over there.

It looks like a castle!
Can you take the child?

It's against the rules.

I shouldn't even kiss him.
It's dangerous.

Maybe later, then.

Where can we eat?

There's a restaurant over there.
I'll park the car. You go on ahead.

Eat.

Stop drinking.
You have to drive.

I'll sleep for a while later.

You can use the car sometimes
to go to work.

Then you can give us a hand
with the payments.

- I can't drive.
- I'll teach you.

I might have to change factories.

Otherwise I risk getting worse.

Thank God you have that job!

She's sick now.

I'm getting injections for my liver.

She's worn out, but she never complains.

We have lots of troubles...

and the longer you're away,
the worse they get.

You collect my whole salary.
I don't even have a single lira.

What for?
You have everything you need here.

Can't I do anything for myself?
Like get this tooth fixed?

Why? Forget it.
Look at me.

I'm missing half my teeth!

You staying up here much longer?

Until I'm really well.

You're well now. It shows.
You exaggerate, like when you write.

The doctor has to say
when I can leave.

My son wants his wife beside him.

He's not the type that fools around.

You think I was lying
when I wrote I'm still sick!

We can all fit in the car.
Come back with us.

I'll hold the child on my lap.

Don't think for a second
that I'm going back with you!

If I feel like it,
I'll kick your ass back to Milan!

I'm not your slave.

I've learned a few things up here.

You'll need the police
to take me back to Milan!

I'm not leaving here
until the doctor says so.

Sit down.

A bottle of wine.

Who reads these books?

- I do.
- You've learned to read?

I knew how, but I'd forgotten.

Here I've realized I'm not so stupid.

So when you come home,
you're going to play the lady?

What lady? I just want to find a job
that isn't so exhausting.

What's the little one doing?

He's asleep in the car.
They could have let him in.

It's against the rules.
A sanatorium is a sanatorium.

Let's go before it gets dark.

- Clara.
- Yeah.

Come here.

- What is it?
- Shut the door.

- Your mother wants to go.
- Shut the door.

If I hadn't called you in here,
we wouldn't have had a word together.

We always fight when we talk.

We've never been apart
for such a long time.

You're right. Never.

You might not believe it,
but I never cheated on you.

I didn't cheat on you either.

No, Franco.
Not like this.

Let me go.
The baby's down there alone.

- Hey, come on, you two.
-Just a moment.

He could come in.

I have to get gas.

You're tryin' to get rid of us.

You got your mind on somethin' else.

Like what?
I don't understand you.

I don't smash your face
only 'cause I feel sorry for you!

Let's go.

Let's go!

Have you gone crazy?

He doesn't understand
and doesn't want to.

Comes up here to play
the jealous husband!

Clara, you coming to the movies later?

Come on.
Don't let it get to you.

Take some sweets to your brothers.

No, I won't.

You have to think about them.

Come home soon.

I can drive up and get you.

Bye, Franco.

Come take a walk with me
on Wednesday?

A walk?

I can't on Wednesday.

I have a date.

My love.

You know what I fell in love with?

Your hands...

and then your eyes.

For me, it was everything.

Really.

This is delicious.

You came into my life
when my husband slapped me.

Your husband is a louse.

Don't say that.

He doesn't have an easy life,
poor guy:

He struggles too,
and he's not a bad man.

Well, you're a good woman.

I don't understand anything anymore.

Since I've been here, everything's
changed right before my eyes.

Nothing could have happened
between us in Milan.

I shouldn't drink anymore.
It makes me want to laugh.

Go on, drink! Laugh!

We have to keep our heads.

But why do we have to keep our heads?

Would you have the courage to divorce?

If you don't have money...

you can't divorce.

The law won't give you
a divorce for free.

It doesn't cost much.

For people like you and me,
it's still too much.

Only some madness
could resolve our situation.

We'll run away to Germany.

They need specialists like me.

You're a dreamer.

You sound like one of my kids.

And what about them?

And what do I do with the children?
Toss them aside?

Didn't think of that, did you?

Let's not be so serious.

Let's enjoy these moments.

Let's not think of anything.

So what's this madness you spoke of?

You should have guessed.
You have no imagination.

Well?

I'm not going to tell you.
It was very selfish anyway.

Throw myself in front of a train.
That's my madness!

I'll always be with you.
I won't give you up.

Milan has a way
of knocking the love out of people.

God, it's late!

See you next Wednesday.

Excuse me.

Did you have a pass?

No, I didn't.

They were looking for you.
They even called the police.

I'll explain everything tomorrow.

These things happen.

Dr. Ciranni came looking for you
three times.

You ladies mustn't miss
the medical exam tomorrow.

Good news for you, Clara.

You're cured. Totally cured.

Happy?

You're totally cured.
Let Dr. Ciranni tell you.

He's your doctor, your healer,
and fellow townsman.

The director is right.

You're cured.

You can go.

You can return home.

Today, if you wish.

Today?

If you'd rather...

tomorrow will be fine.

There's a train today at 2:00.

It'll still be daylight
when you get there.

I've written up your report...

for National Health.
Take it to Milan.

The head nurse will give it to you.

Don't go back to the factory
immediately. Let a few days go by.

Don't think of anything.
Have some fun.

Best wishes, Clara.

I... I thank you all.

All of you, really.

Thank you so much, Doctor.

Have a good trip, Clara.

Thank you.

Everything okay?

This was just delivered for you.

''Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday.
Luigi.''
